What is ADC



An electronic integrated circuit which
transforms a signal from analog (continuous)
to digital (discrete) form.
Analog signals are directly measurable
quantities.
Digital signals only have two states. For
digital computer, we refer to binary states, 0
and 1.
Why ADC is needed



Microprocessors can only perform complex
processing on digitized signals.
When signals are in digital form they are less
susceptible to the deleterious effects of
additive noise.
ADC Provides a link between the analog
world of transducers and the digital world of
signal processing and data handling.
Application of ADC



ADC are used virtually everywhere where an
analog signal has to be processed, stored, or
transported in digital form.
Some examples of ADC usage are digital volt
meters, cell phone, thermocouples, and
digital oscilloscope.
Microcontrollers commonly use 8, 10, 12, or
16 bit ADCs, our micro controller uses an 8 or
10 bit ADC.

Quantizing and Encoding
Resolution:
The smallest change in analog signal that will result in a change in
the digital output.
Vr
!V = N

V = Reference voltage range
N = Number of bits in digital output.
2N = Number of states.
∆V = Resolution
The resolution represents the quantization error inherent in the
conversion of the signal to digital form
Quantizing and Encoding
Analog Signal
• Quantizing:
Partitioning the reference signal
range into a number of discrete
quanta, then matching the input
signal to the correct quantum.
• Encoding:
Assigning a unique digital code
to each quantum, then
allocating the digital code to the
input signal.

Accuracy of A/D Conversion
There are two ways to best improve the accuracy of A/D
conversion:


increasing the resolution which improves the accuracy in
measuring the amplitude of the analog signal.
increasing the sampling rate which increases the
maximum frequency that can be measured.

How does it work
A dual-slope ADC (DS-ADC) integrates an unknown input voltage (VIN) for
a fixed amount of time (TINT), then "de-integrates" (TDEINT) using a
known reference voltage (VREF) for a variable amount of time.
The key advantage of this architecture over the single-slope is that the final
conversion result is insensitive to errors in the component values. That is, any
error introduced by a component value during the integrate cycle will be
cancelled out during the de-integrate phase.
How Does it Work Cont.









At t<0, S1 is set to ground, S2 is closed, and
counter=0.
At t=0 a conversion begins and S2 is open, and S1
is set so the input to the integrator is Vin.
S1 is held for TINT which is a constant
predetermined time interval.
When S1 is set the counter begins to count clock
pulses, the counter resets to zero after TINT
Vout of integrator at t=TINT is VINTINT/RC is linearly
proportional to VIN
At t=TINT S1 is set so -Vref is the input to the
integrator which has the voltage VINTINT/RC stored
in it.
The integrator voltage then drops linearly with a
slop -Vref/RC.
A compartor is used to determine when the output
voltage of the integrator crosses zero
When it is zero the digitized output value is the
state of the counter.

Pros and Cons
PROS



Conversion result is insensitive
to errors in the component
values.
Fewer adverse affects from
“noise”
High Accuracy
CONS


Accuracy is dependent on the
use of precision external
components
Cost
Flash A/D Converter

Fundamental Components (For N bit Flash A/D)



2N-1 Comparators
2N Resistors
Control Logic
How does it work




Uses the 2N resistors to form a ladder voltage divider, which
divides the reference voltage into 2N equal intervals.
Uses the 2N-1 comparators to determine in which of these 2N
voltage intervals the input voltage Vin lies.
The Combinational logic then translates the information
provided by the output of the comparators
This ADC does not require a clock so the conversion time is
essentially set by the settling time of the comparators and the
propagation time of the combinational logic.

Pros and Cons

PROS
Very Fast (Fastest)
Very simple
operational theory
Speed is only limited
by gate and
comparator
propagation delay



CONS
Expensive
Prone to produce
glitches in the output
Each additional bit
of resolution
requires twice the
comparators.
SIGMA-DELTA A/D Converter
Main Components
 Resistors
 Capacitor
 Comparators
 Control Logic
 DAC
How does it work






Input is over sampled, and goes to integrator.
The integration is then compared to ground.
Iterates and produces a serial bit stream
Output is a serial bit stream with # of 1’s proportional to Vin
With this arrangement the sigma-delta modulator automatically adjusts its
output to ensure that the average error at the quantizer output is zero.
The integrator value is the sum of all past values of the error, so whenever
there is a non-zero error value the integrator value just keeps building until
the error is once again forced to zero.

Example
Example
 10 bit ADC
 Vin= 0.6 volts (from analog
device)
 Vref=1 volts
 Find the digital value of Vin
N=2n (N of possible states)
N=1024
Vmax-Vmin/N = 1 Volt/1024 =
0.0009765625V of Vref (resolution)
Successive Approximation

MSB (bit 9)
 Divided Vref by 2
 Compare Vref /2 with Vin
 If Vin is greater than Vref /2 , turn
MSB on (1)
 If Vin is less than Vref /2 , turn
MSB off (0)
 Vin =0.6V and V=0.5
 Since Vin>V, MSB = 1 (on)
Successive Approximation

Next Calculate MSB-1 (bit 8)



Compare Vin=0.6 V to V=Vref/2 + Vref/4= 0.5+0.25 =0.75V
Since 0.6<0.75, MSB is turned off
Calculate MSB-2 (bit 7)



Go back to the last voltage that caused it to be turned on (Bit 9)
and add it to Vref/8, and compare with Vin
Compare Vin with (0.5+Vref/8)=0.625
Since 0.6<0.625, MSB is turned off
Successive Approximation

Calculate the state of MSB-3 (bit 6)



Go to the last bit that caused it to be turned on (In this
case MSB-1) and add it to Vref/16, and compare it to
Vin
Compare Vin to V= 0.5 + Vref/16= 0.5625
Since 0.6>0.5625, MSB-3=1 (turned on)
Successive Approximation

This process continues for all the remaining bits.
